FIGURE 1.

Estimated changes in leukocyte telomere length (bp) associated with isoenergetic substitution of 1% of energy in a subsample of postmenopausal women from the Women’s Health Initiative. Values are mean differences ± 95% CIs. Mean differences were adjusted for age (y, continuous), race-ethnicity (white, black, Hispanic, Asian/Pacific Islander), BMI (≤25, >25–30, >30–35, >35 kg/m²), smoking (never, former, current smoker), daily alcohol intake (≤0.01, >0.01–0.1, >0.1–2, >2 g/d), diabetes case in the primary case-control study (yes, no), physical activity (0, >0–5, >5–20, >20 metabolic equivalent hours/wk), and daily intakes of energy (kcal, continuous), fruit and vegetables (medium serving [∼170 g], continuous), vitamin C (mg, continuous), vitamin E (IU, continuous), selenium (μg, continuous), and β-carotene (μg, continuous). *P < 0.05. Carbo, carbohydrates; LSFA, long-chain SFAs; SMSFA, short-to-medium-chain SFAs.
